Why does JackRabbit use Lucene 3.6 and not 4.7?

["wkoorn@xebia.com" <wk...@xebia.com>]

I'm trying to combine two libraries in my single jar web app: ElasticSearch
and JackRabbit.

The former depends on Lucene 4.7 which is quite up-to-date where the latter
depends on Lucene 3.6 which is quite older.

Is there any specific reason why the latest JackRabbit (2.8) is still on
Lucene 3.6?



Regards, Wilco.

Jackrabbit's integration with Lucene is quite deep, which makes 
upgrading to newer Lucene versions difficult. So far there wasn't enough 
cases for upgrading and no one was willing to bit the bullet and work on 
an upgrade.
